Greyfriars Bobby's grave

People think that touching the nose of the puppy will bring luck, and tourists here will come to touch it, so they will touch the vulture. I also want to be happy, and there was an embarrassing scene. Because I am petite and the bronze statue is built higher, it is really a bit out of reach. Worth a visit!

Similar to the story of the loyal dog Eight. The legs of the puppy statue were all touched and there was a bronze statue of the puppy outside the Greifan Church in Edinburgh city. Built in memory of the loyal dog Bobby! Worth a look.

Bobby is a household name in Scotland, it was originally a stray dog, the vigil John Grey gave it a full meal, Bobby followed John, and John died in 1858, when Bobby was buried, Bobby resolutely did not leave, and has been guarding John's tombstone, very moving story.

we visited as part of a larger trip to see the city and had a nice time wandering around the graveyard, great on a nice day but can be quite uncomfortable if its raining or windy as its on a hill of sorts.

Built in honor of Bobby the dog! It was not as big as I thought it was, but it was a very moving legend, a dog raised by the mid-19th century priest John Gray, who had been guarding his master's grave for more than a decade, and built his grave for him in his master's church. It's worth seeing.

The tomb and legend of Bobby, a loyal dog. John Gray is said to be a night policeman in the old city of Edinburgh who died on February 15, 1858 and was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard (kirkyard = cemetery). Before his death, he had a dog named Bobby-Bobby. John and Bobby were inseparable. After the death of his master, Bobby was so sad that he stayed by his gravestone day and night for 14 years until his death. Edinburgh's hottest monthly average temperature in summer is not higher than 15 degrees Celsius; winter is cold and rainy, with snow and strong winds, loyal dogs never leave for a day. Bobby died on February 14, 1872. It's just one day ahead of its owner's day of sacrifice. According to the regulations at that time, Bobby could not be buried next to his master, but for his loyalty, the cemetery specifically allowed him to be buried near the entrance of the master's cemetery. Nowadays, the tomb of the loyal dog has become a popular attraction; on the contrary, no one knows where the owner's tomb is. If you want to visit the Mausoleum of Bobby, it's near the National Museum of Scotland.
